In this learning activity, you will add a SOAP note to the chart of Justin Monroe, a 12 year old patient with a sore throat, ear pain, and nasal discharge. There are times, when interacting with a patient, that the interview and exam don’t go along in the order the book says they should. This encounter is an example of one of those times. The practitioner, Kate Walsh, has completed her interview and physical exam.

The buttons on the left will link you to the results of this encounter. It is suggested that you read through both the interview and physical exam before beginning your SOAP note. These buttons will remain available as you work through each section. In addition, guidance about how to write each part of the SOAP note is provided within each section.

Select each tab to complete your notes. When you are finished, select Review My Note.
